Meet seven country delegations coming to Web Summit

This year Web Summit will pass 50,000 attendees. We’re excited. It’s also set to be our most international conference yet, with attendees from over 150 nations set to join us in Lisbon in November.

Take a look at the delegations coming from just seven of these countries. We can’t wait to meet them.

Netherlands

Netherlands will be sending representatives from some of Europe’s most influential companies, including Jean Botti, chief innovation and strategy officer at Philips; Gillian Tans, Booking.com‘s CEO and Corinne Vigreux (pictured above), TomTom‘s co-founder. Corinne’s company is behind the famous boxed TomTom satnav, which was the fastest selling tech device of all time.

France

The French are sending some of the most influential figures in both their private and public sectors. We can’t wait to welcome Henri Verdier, CIO and Chief Data Officer with the French government, and Minister of State Axelle Lemaire (pictured above) to Web Summit. They’ll be joined by the CEOs of two behemoths: Carlos Ghosn of Renault-Nissan, and Eurosport‘s Peter Hutton.

China

As CTO of FreeWheel, Diane Yu (pictured) helps the likes of ESPN, Discovery and VEVO reach the right audience at the right time. She’s making her way to Web Summit from China, joined by Charles Manning, CEO of Kochava, and Social@Ogilvy‘s global MD Thomas Crampton.
